OutliningCategory

To create a new outline in GavelNote simply go to the homepage and click the “Create New Outline” button.

You’ll then be shown a window allowing you to name your new outline. Click the “Create” button when you’re finished.

Once the outline is created you’ll see it in your list of current outlines. To begin working with the outline you’ve just created click either the name of the outline or the “Open” button associated with it.

Your outlines allow you to create and add new notes to them. To begin, right click on an existing section or note in your outline. You will see a menu appear that allows you to insert (visible only if right clicking on sections) or add above/below (visible to any note you right click on).

Hover over the menu item identifying where you want the new note added to and then you will see a list of note types available to you.

The types of notes you can add to GavelNote outlines are the following:

Shared Note
Add notes that other classmates have shared with you. Great for if you miss a class or are in a study group with others.

Once you select what type of note you want to add you will be asked to name the note. Give it a name and click the “Add” button.

Once the note is added simply click the name of the note in your outline to expand the note and view its contents.

Since we’ve added a case brief note we see an empty template for all case brief related fields. If we added a different type of note we’d see different fields specific to that type of note type.

Important

When adding Files, Inline Text, and Shared notes the dialog window you see is different from just asking you to name a note. Files ask you to browse for a file on your computer. Inline Text immediately inserts blank text for you to begin typing. Shared notes bring up a dialog box to select notes from friends who have shared with you.
